Drink Plenty of Water

6 things you may not know about water

  • Makes up about 60% of your body
  • Keeps your skin healthy
  • Supports the function of your cells and organs
  • Regulates body temperature
  • Boosts alertness and supports brain function
  • Aids in digestion
Drink plenty of water. I endeavor to drink more than 64 ounces of water daily. The more water I drink the better. I have to admit I do love water enhancers. I prefer liquid Crush Orange and Pineapple, but I also indulge in other flavors. I do use the enhancers in moderation. A nice lite flavor is good. A little flavor goes a long way!

I don't drink pop or soda pop at all. There is no real nutritional value in soda pop. I don't drink sugary juices. I no longer drink coffee. I do like to make ice blended drinks using sugar free flavoring and unsweetened almond milk. Drinks that are yummy and refreshing, especially during the summer months. Using fresh fruits in these blended drinks is nice as well. I don't use sugar to sweeten my drinks. I use some sweeteners like sucralose but not sugar.

My 2025 Goal is Onederland

Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post. So much has happened in my life. There have been so many unexpected occurrences, I find my daily peace, joy and hope in Jesus Christ. I hope all is well with each and every one of you! My main goal this year for my weight loss is to finally leave the 200's. Yes, no more mid to low 200's it's time to make it to Onederland. What is onederland you ask?  Onderland is a term used in the weight loss community to signify reaching a weight below 200 pounds (one hundred pounds). It is a celebratory milestone for individuals who have achieved significant weight loss. The scale is not my friend. I have disliked stepping on the scale my entire weight loss journey. So my first weigh in for this year will probably be the end of June because it is the 6th month of the year. I will step on the scale just to check my progress. I need to see how close to my goal I am. I believe I can meet this goal by December 31, 2025 I will firmly b...

Don't Be Afraid of Stand Still

Hello everyone! Don't be afraid of standing still. What I mean is standing still in your weight loss journey. There will be periods of time that your weight loss will stand still. I mean really still. You will not lose weight yet you're sticking to proper eating habits and exercise. This too shall pass. I've gone through periods like this often enough.  I remember, it seemed like I couldn't lose weight no matter what. All of a sudden it was like I dropped twenty pounds overnight. I'm serious, I noticed I'd lost a lot of inches my clothes were much bigger on me. I also want to point out you may not lose pounds but you will be losing inches. Look I've learned to just go with the flow. If you don't learn to go with the flow you will become an emotional roll coaster on your weight loss journey.  Just take a deep breath. Everything will be alright! Really! Just keep going. At the beginning of your weight loss journey. The weight will come off pretty easy and ...

My First Meal of the Day

Hello everyone! I thought I'd share a first meal of the day with you. I usually eat my first meal of the day no earlier than 11 am. It all depends on my schedule and what I have to do that day. I have eaten my first meal some days like yesterday, after 5pm. Yesterday I had one meal and earlier that afternoon I ate a 100 calorie bag of dusted dark chocolate almonds. This meal is from weeks ago. I decided to take a photo of this meal so I could write this post.  This day I ate breakfast for my first meal. This breakfast consists of Egg Beaters and Baby Spinach, if I want to add cheese. I prefer Follow Your Heart Vegan Gouda Cheese Slices. The toast is White Smart Carb bread and it's covered with an half of a Avocado. I consider this a fairly healthy, low calorie and low sodium meal. It's quite tasty as well. I'm not going to put all the numbers in. I just wanted to share a simple meal that I eat sometimes. If I'm home I love to eat at least one salad a day, usually fo...
